I seem to remember there was a feature on a Bede BD-5, which was based in Australia and had reportedly had many of the initial besign faults ironed out, that came out in Pilot or Flyer last year.
Shortly after appearing in the Magazine, the aircraft was allegedly comprehensively crashed - which unfortunately went some way to reinforcing the truth of the CAA's prejudice against the venerable Bede.
Pretty looking thing, though, that went like a rocket by all accounts.
